Peripherals like that built into the motherboard are generally on a PCI bus segment anyway. You can see by looking at the device manager in Windows or by using lspci in Linux. In both cases you will see a vendor ID, bus number, and slot number.
considering that just the other week, I accidently filled my home partition completely while ftping some files from one machine to the other...I left gftp running and came back a hour later to find that gftp was calmly retrying every thirty seconds... everything else was running fine... wasn't until I launched kdiskfree that I found out what I'd done, accidently selected a 4.6GB linux iso for coppying across... now if it had been ms-windows, the whole enchillada would have gone belly up and I wouldn't even be able to launch another program to delete files to make room...
By that logic, Yahoo! Auctions would have killed eBay years ago.
yeah, but who really uses Yahoo??? just about everybody has heard of eBay by now, whilst only some of us who were around from the beginning really remember the glory days of yahoo...
GBay would be a killer, but they'll have problems with that name... too close to eBay and eBay would accuse them of passing themselves off... GTrade as a short name for Google Trading Post???
you can lose as many blueprints as you want... as long as the master drawings that are used for the contact prints are still around you can just run off a fresh set...
yes, Walmart's Linux section is in the cupboard down in the basement behind the door marked "beware of the Tiger".
They hide it well... so no wonder sales are low... the cheapest one on the front page of their computers section has XP Home Edition on it...
the boxes with Linux are to be found as a sub page of the "Specialised PCs" page.
As they also have bare boxes available in the specialised section, I'd get one of them... as I wouldn't want to waste the extra $40 for the Xandros version or the extra $50 for the Linspire version... the only advantage getting Xandros or Linspire gives you is legitimate multimedia plugins for playing DVDs and windows media.
well if he was using any of the desktops such as KDE, XFCE, ICEWM or Gnome, then he would find it hard to see the difference...
seriously... I challenge anyone when presented with BSD running Gnome and GNU/Linux with Gnome to be able to tell the difference without diving to either the command line, or else wandering about the filesystem...
A DOE report says: "A 1983 study by USDOE estimates that 733,000 pounds of elemental mercury were released to the environment in the 1950s and 1960s around the Y-12 Plant. Most of the contamination around Y-12 is confined to the upper 10 feet of soils and fill. Additional studies revealed that some 170,000 pounds of mercury are contained in the sediments and floodplain of about a 15-mile length of East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC), which has its headwaters at Y-12, and that some 500 pounds of mercury annually leave this watershed." ( i.e.: don't smoke the grass)
well, that site would make a pretty good mine for mercury in the future...
the tether held on to the package until after the motors had achieved sufficient thrust and then released it... that way, if the engines don't make it, they can be shut down and the very expensive package retrieved by means of a winch... if needs be, jettison the motor bit and just retrieve the payload.
This is what happens when morons vote in a bunch of lying fucking thieves - Labour. You voted them in, you deal with them, Im outta here to leave the UK to die under Labour.
I never ever voted Labour... I have always voted Conservative. I'm just sick of the stupid idiots who believe the big Labour lie that they are the party for the working class... New Labour have stolen the real labour party and have smuggled in an entirely "foreign" agenda called by those in the know as "The Project"... what we really have now is a party of Fascists masquerading as Labour
That's what they said about Miscrosoft's Product Activation scheme. And yet corporate adoption of w2k and XP has gone on without even a slight hiccup.
People will buy anything, as long as there is a guy in a suit telling to.
you do realise that the corporate editions of those products do not have product activation in them at all... precisely for the reason that the corporations don't want the hassle of having to activate and keep things activated... there would be a hell of a stink if the corporate editions also had to be activated
there'll be a little software hack that'll patch the OS instead... to remove the call to the TPM and return an Ok to the rest of the OS...
And before you say they could checksum the code itself to see if it's been patched... that 1) opens up a whole can of worms for apple having to maintain their own code and 2) would be just as easily patchable...
Well, that's quickly changing: these days, computers can break themselves, be it via automatic upgrades, spyware, or worms that come in through vendor-supplied security holes.
Mine don't, but then again, I use Linux...

yes, but part of that $45 is for the USB stick and the rest would cost me far less than my time would cost to do the job myself... and some of that $45 goes to upkeep of TOR servers
Think about it... $45 is cheap considering what it is. I'd like to see an autorun QEMU CDrom version as well.
"So why should cash-strapped schools spend thousands (millions?) of dollars on yet another piece of only semi-useful technology instead of attracting more and better teachers, repairing or replacing crumbling buildings, or funding music and art education programs?"
different funding sources with specific rules as to what each can be spent on... ie. you can't take funds for IT and use them to pay better wages to attract better teachers or to improve the building fabric... the money for those whiteboards may have come in the form of a grant with very specific terms
"Bang uses the board to display a wide range of learning materials on her computer, from web pages to video clips. It is also used as a lunch-time reward for students: The children watched Black Beauty on the same screen that was used earlier for geography."
nothing like an unauthorised public performance to get the MPAA on your ass... perhaps they should have checked the little license that is shown when playing the dvd... the one which defines what constitutes home use...

Ha ha... in the UK it seems people prefer the Crazy Frog to U2 and Coldplay...
eh voila!!! lspci gives

mandrake were having to change their name anyway because it conflicted with "Mandrake The Magician"...

so what's to stop Apple doing an "Designed for Apple OSX" logo scheme with OEMs who meet their approval???

what's the bets that possession of the TOR program on your computer in one of those oppressive countries will be seen as evidence of intent
